Top 10 Things to Do in Johannesburg
Apartheid Museum
1
Take a guided tour of the Apartheid Museum within a Museum complex in Johannesburg. It is a very informative museum illustrating apartheid and the 20th-century history of South Africa. It focuses on the oppressive system of racial discrimination and segregation that once dominated the lives of South Africans. There is a special exhibit on Nelson Mandela. A very excellent tour. The beginning of the tour is very unique!
Gold Reef City
2
Take a private tour to Gold Reef City and experience a fantastic amusement park. It is located on an old gold mine that closed in 1971 and the park is all themed around the 1886 gold rush on Witwatersrand. Not only does this park have the most thrilling, fastest and nerve-wrecking rides, there is the only 4D theatre in South Africa and a mining museum with an underground mine tour that is totally fascinating.
Constitution Hill
3
Take a guided tour of Constitution Hill, the living museum that tells the story of South Africa’s turbulent journey to democracy. The site itself was once a prison and military fort that bears testament to South Africa’s tempestuous past. Presently it is also home to the country’s Constitutional Court which endorses the rights of all citizens. There is so much to learn on the history and stories of many well-known prisoners.
Lion Park
4
Take a fascinating sightseeing tour of Lion Park. This is a 600-hectare wildlife conservation enclosure in the Gauging province that is mainly for Transvaal lions but also home to cheetahs, wild dogs, hyenas, Zebra and antelope to name a few. When you visit her, you get an opportunity to interact with the animals in Cub World area and they include a giraffe feeding platform where you get to be eye to eye with them.
Cradle of Humankind
5
Take a guided tour of Cradle of Humankind which is one of eight world heritage sites found in South Africa. It is here you find a landscape that is dotted with subterranean limestone caves that have now turned up a rich fossil record for human evolutionary studies. It is here you get to see history in the flesh and you will be one of the tens of thousands of visitors that come here to see the fossil in the caves.
South African National Museum of Military History
6
On a guided tour, visit the South African National Museum of Military History which was opened by the then Prime Minister Jan Smuts in 1947. It was established to preserve the history of South Africa’s involvement in the Second World War and a memorial to those who died in or as a result of the military actions. It is a fascinating tour to take with lots of historical military artefacts and memorabilia to see.
Johannesburg Botanical Garden
7
Located in the suburb of Emmarentia, take a sightseeing tour to the Johannesburg Botanical Garden. Originally these gardens started life as a Rose garden in 1964 but have expanded now to cover an area of 81 hectares. There are themed gardens, paved jogging paths and the Emmarentia Dam where you can take part in various watersports. The gardens contain many rare indigenous and exotic species of plant life.
Johannesburg Zoo
8
On a tour of the Johannesburg Zoo, you will see a zoo that is dedicated to the providing shelter, enrichment and medical care of wild animals. There are about 2,000 individual animals of some 320 species. See the rare White Lions, as this in one of the few places in the world where you can see them or see the largest cats, the Siberian Tigers in the only zoo to have successfully bred them. Do the nighttime safari tour for extra fun.
Hector Pieterson Museum
9
Take a guided tour of the Hector Pieterson Museum which is a large museum found in Orlando West, Soweto. It is named in honour of Hector Pieterson who was just 13 years old when he was shot by police in June 1976, two blocks from the museum. The museum commemorates and gives information about the events leading to the Soweto uprising of 1976. It celebrates the student's role in the struggle for freedom.
Johannesburg Art Gallery
10
A very good guided tour to take is the one to Johannesburg Art Gallery. It is the home to one of the biggest art collections in South Africa. The building itself was designed by the same person responsible for the city’s Anglo-Boer War Memorial, Edward Lutyens. There is historical art such as 17th-century Dutch paintings, 18th and 19th-century European art and South African art from all centuries. It is a tour that is well worth taking.
Travel Tips for Johannesburg
Best Time To Visit Johannesburg
The best time to take a trip to South Africa will depend on what you want from your it. Weatherwise, during the months from October to April, are recommended. October, November and April are the ideal months for private tours or sightseeing tours as the weather is cooler, there are fewer crowds and it may also be a slightly cheaper time. January and February are hot, so if it is just a beach holiday you are looking for, it is a perfect time.
Typical Costs in Johannesburg
Probably the most expensive thing about South Africa is getting there because when you are there, it is relatively inexpensive. The biggest expense is likely to be accommodation, but if you are not too fussy you can get a night in a b&b, with an evening meal, that is basic but clean for $60. Activities are more expensive in peak season, as are private tours, but shop around as prices vary with different tour operators.
Know Before Visiting Johannesburg
Sadly, there is nowhere in the world that is crime free, so when in South Africa be careful of your belongings. Only carry enough money to do you for the day and keep it somewhere safe on your person and always be aware of your surroundings. Never walk alone at night in unpopulated dark areas. Tipping in restaurants and bars is between 10-15 percent but never feel obliged to leave a tip if the service was a disaster.
Weather in Johannesburg
South Africa has a lovely climate that is temperate with plenty of sunny, dry days. Winter is June, July and August when it is generally dry and cool with snow only falling in the mountainous regions. September and October are springtimes. Summer is December to February and it also is the rainfall season with The Cape getting most of the rainfall. It can get extremely hot during January but perfect for getting that golden tan you always wanted!
